One Piece Food System - Chapter 368
c364 Have a long conversation (Part 2)
“Those who want to kill me should be the ‘Holy Family of Aguero’ behind Di Lin, and the other two families that jointly dominate the Holy Land of Mariejoia… As for those who want to save me, they are probably one of the other dozen or so families. Which ones?” Lei Fa said bluntly without pretending to be confused.
“Huh? It seems that you, Brother ‘Baolang’, know more than I thought.” The ‘Hunter’ also didn’t expect that Lei Fa had figured out the right and wrong behind this. So he continued, “What you said is basically correct. What I represent is one of the families that wants to protect you.”
“But that doesn’t seem to explain why you are so enthusiastic about me, Brother Hunter, right?” Refa continued to speak calmly.
“The reason why you think so is because you are still too young and have reached this level in too short a time. You are not yet used to looking at problems as a chess player.” ‘Hunter’ said with a faint smile.
“Oh?” Refa continued to listen.
“At our level, it can be said that there are very few things that can scare us. Basically, the only thing that can kill us is each other… As for the people below us, what do they matter?” ‘Hunter”s smile was a bit contemptuous at this time.
“The marshal of the navy, the pirate emperor… all of these are just chess pieces in the game between us. Will you fight for the sake of a few chess pieces that have been eaten in a game? I think I don’t need to explain this answer in depth.”
“Are all living things just ants…” Lei Fa sighed softly.
“That’s a good metaphor. Although it doesn’t sound very nice, it’s quite appropriate.” ‘Hunter’ chuckled, “Don’t say ‘Baolang’, brother, you just killed a few insignificant chess pieces. Even if you The ‘Dark Dragon Department’ is completely destroyed, and I can’t afford to be angry with you.”
“That’s it.” Lefa nodded and did not continue to ask.
“As long as you understand.” ‘Hunter’ said with a smile, “Furthermore, it is precisely because of their deaths that I have the opportunity to contact you, brother, before others do. It can be said that they deserved their death…”
“Oh? What do you mean, brother?”
“I came here this time to establish an alliance with you, brother.” The ‘Hunter’ looked serious.
“Allies? Where do we start talking about this?” Refa continued to ask.
“You should also know that there are not many people in total who are qualified to talk to us on an equal footing, whether they are friends or enemies… Putting aside the ‘Five Old Stars’, even if you and I are added, I can count them on both hands,” said ‘Hunter’.
“So many?” Now it was Refa’s turn to be surprised.
“It seems that your intelligence work is not thorough enough, brother. Let me count for you.” ‘Hunter’ smiled and counted, “Marshal Kong, you must know it, and then ‘Tianlong’ There are about three to four people there, as well as the legend among the pirates, Red Field, and the old bastard behind the News Agency.”
“If you add the two of us, that’s almost all. Of course, we don’t rule out that there are others hidden in the dark. After all, there are many forces with a long history in this sea, such as the ‘Apostles of Destiny’ group. It’s annoying.” ‘Hunter’ frowned slightly when he said this.
“Brother, have you also been in contact with them?” Refa was very interested in this group.
He once almost died in the hands of one of them. It was impossible to say that he didn’t have any grudges in his heart, so he paid special attention to this group.
“How come we have come this far without dealing with this group of people.” ‘Hunter’ shook his head and said, “It’s just that no one among us has any experience with this group of guys who claim to be able to see their destiny clearly. I don’t like him at all, and it’s not an exaggeration to say he’s disgusted.”
“Why is this?”
“It’s simple, because we are not very interested in things like fate.” ‘Hunter’ spread his hands and said, “But a group of people suddenly appeared and told you that your fate has already been determined. No matter what you do, you can’t change the established fact. , can you like it?”
Hearing what the ‘Hunter’ said, Refa quickly reacted.
Indeed, for the first-tier peak experts, the world is just a huge chessboard for them. Whether they create forces or fight against each other, they are just passing the time at best.
As a result, a group of people came to tell them that even if it is a chess game you use to kill time, the outcome has already been determined, and even winning or losing is not under your control.
Doesn’t this mean you’re just here to spoil the fun?
No wonder the ‘Hunter’ reacted that way when he mentioned those people.
“Then why not simply destroy them? With the strength and power of top experts like you, it shouldn’t be difficult to eliminate these ‘apostles of destiny’ that have emerged.” Refa said.
“There is no way. There is an ‘Apostle of Destiny’ among the cronies of the ‘Five Old Stars’, and there is also the old bastard from the ‘News Agency’. It is not that easy to get rid of them all.” The ‘Hunter’ sighed, “We have to If it wasn’t for this, I could defeat them all by myself, so how could I have allowed them to survive to this day? Huh? Brother ‘Baolang’, you seem to be paying close attention to them, have you ever had any contact with them?”
“More than ten years ago, I almost died at the hands of an ‘Apostle of Destiny’. Although I succeeded in killing him in the end, I didn’t have any good impression of them,” Refa said.
“I see, hahahahaha, so we two brothers are even more in tune with each other. Come on, let’s have another drink.” The ‘Hunter’ toasted again and drank it all.
Refa followed closely behind.
“What did you just say? By the way, why should we form an alliance?” ‘Hunter’ put down his wine glass and continued, “At this stage, the ‘Five Old Stars’ are currently united, and serve as a balance between the two camps of ‘Dragon People’ It is the centrists who can stabilize the current situation.”
“Me, and that old vampire Ryder, we are also allies for the time being.”
“Marshal Sora and that old bastard from the News Agency are also allies.”
Leifa was shocked and said, “What? Brother ‘Hunter’, are you an ally of ‘Aloof Red’?!”
“Hehe, I didn’t expect that.” ‘Hunter’ chuckled, “I just told you, don’t take the so-called power camp too seriously, it’s just a game.”
“Furthermore, you probably don’t know that the ‘Bounty Hunters Guild’ was founded by me and that old vampire Ryder… His code name is ‘Earl’.” The ‘Hunter’ probably thought that the bomb he dropped was still worth it. Not big enough, continue to throw new big bombs at Refa.
“this–”
Leifa was really shocked now.
Although he had foreseen the chessboard theory, he never expected it to be so naked!
The ‘Hunter’ is obviously the pinnacle of power on the side of the World Government, but he has openly formed an alliance with the legendary powerful pirate, and it doesn’t sound like this is any secret.
In other words, the ‘Five Old Stars’ and the ‘Dragon People’ also know this.
